Isthmus Book of Love: Valentine's Day, 2008

Valentine's Day is barely a week away, probably less by the time you read this, but for Isthmus, Valentine's Day is now, with the publication of the Book of Love. The BOL has become a staple of the season, having graced our pages for decades. Originally the feature was called "Ursula's Valentines," after our long-ago advice columnist who hosted the presentation of readers' love encomiums. The volume of response from the readership soon dictated a special section all its own to contain the reams of love expressed. Thus was born the Book of Love.

After all these years, your ardor has not cooled. This year's call for submissions brought a record number of responses. We received over 850 valentines and nearly 200 photos with which to illustrate them. We also received many expressions of thanks for producing the BOL, but it's we who should thank you. After all, you write the Book of Love. We just have to sell the ads.

We get this literal labor of love out to you in plenty of time to find your message among the hordes in order to show it to the object of your affection on the appropriate day. Or maybe you make your loved one search for it. Either way, it's fun to go through and read what your creative neighbors have written. You know you can't read just one.

And thanks to our friends in the local music community, we've set the photo submissions to some (locally produced) songs of love. The exceptional soundtrack of the below slideshow comes courtesy of, in order, Swim Team, Cribshitter and the Motor Primitives. Consider throwing a little love their way the next time you see them show up in The Guide which, by the way, is a pretty good place to find a place to take your sweetie for a date.

Soundtrack:

Swim Team, "Kingdom"

Cribshitter, "I Love How You Love Me"

Motor Primitives, "Behind the Clouds"

Mooahma: Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm for Obama and so are you... or Hillary is OK I guess. 08 is the year for change. Gunna be fun! xoxo TTB

Mikey: Thank you for wrapping your arms around me for another year. I know that its gonna be a long walk home, maybe, and I don't know if you will ever let yourself whisper "tomorrow" in my ear, but God I honestly love you. The rush of your lips. . the feel of your name...the beat of your heart... Baby don't you understand, in you arms I'm born again. In your heart you must trust, my lonely Valentine. Wendy-waiting to walk in the sun.

I miss you and wish for you to remain in a secret special spot within my heart. I shall remain caressed, amused, mesmerized, ruefully, overcome, notwithstanding... yours.

Dear Mom, Love is an ongoing celebration, when we're together I'm filled with elation, I hate to make you mad, and I wish our tender moments were forever iron-clad. Making you laugh is what I enjoy, devising ways to spark your smile becomes my toy. I love the simple ways you show you care, while continuing to awe me with feats more impressive then a dare. Know that I'll always find comfort in your embrace, I wish I could make all your days special and line with lace. When it comes to incredible you set the bar high. And love for you pours from my heart reaching beyond the sky. I love you Mom, for everything you are, through the dark nights you are my shining star. Love, Jana

Oh Nancy, It is your beautiful smile I fancy. You are the apple of my eye, and upon your wings I want to fly. Looking at you I feel so proud, your achievements rank higher than a cloud- when you did the Ironman I was your biggest fan. Good Luck in the Birkebeiner, hope its easier than putting on eye liner. If your nose gets cold and runny, I'll be there to make your day sunny. Thanks for being an amazing mom, our love is purer that anything from cupid. com. Even if I fall away in a comatose, know that in our hearts we'll still be close. I'm so grateful for everything you do, never forget that I love you. So if it was like a golden egg to lay, I'd find a goose so you'd have a Happy Valentine's Day! Love, J.

My thought of love is my husband to be. Henry Lee. Love is like a bird protecting its children from all things. That's my love for him, love is Joyous. Love is happy feelings. The feelings I feel now. Love is never ending my love for Henry Love is Henry Lee with me forever. Love is being there for each other through it all rather it be good or bad. Like myself and fiancée do. Love is like a hand and glove that fits, two people sharing their love as one as we do. Love is Belinda Amas and Henry Lee. Love is Henry with me. I love him so much, now I know what real true love is: Me and Henry Lee. -Belinda Lee Amos

Brian K. Ever since the first day that I saw you at your work I knew that I wanted to be with you. All it took was one look and a smile. You walked into my life and forever changed it. Your such a sweetheart and a true prince charming. Its not only your dreamy eyes or sexy smile that draw me to you its your personality and the way you treat me is truly amazing. The way you look at me before you kiss me or your sweet embrace as you hold me close I feel like a true princess everyday and as if I'm on cloud nine. I can't take my eyes off you as you're so handsome, sexy, and smart. I've fallen head over heels for you, Brian, I love everything you do and the person you are. I remember out first date and how nervous I was. I'm so glad that I met you. You area dream come true. Your soft embrace and the sweet kisses on my face make me feel like a million bucks. Happy Valentines Day Brian. Jessica M

My Long Drink of Water - You quench the heat in my heart and wet the cracked depths of a soul wanting... you. Together there is wild singing, the juice of your kisses, the wonder of a desert in bloom after the rain, and hearts held open for more. I may be away but I hold you deep in my heart. Love, Sweet H2O

Mike happy valentines day to you. Candy

It's charming how your 19 yr old studybuddies tell you to grow up. The conservative test and regressed statistics can never be bent to explain how we have made it through 15 years, three children, a farm in Mongolia and are still in love. No poetry will ever explain how proud I am of you, how much I admire you, and how much you continue to surprise me every single day. Keep on in your quest for the perfect engine and I will keep coaxing food from the earth and cook it for you. I love you. PS THe kids worship you too, and the world will be better because you are their father. Love, the woman who wanted to buy you a Porsche GT for Xmas but made do with a tractor seat butt warmer.

Dearest pudder schmudly Momma, pack leader and provider, Our love for you is greater than the volume of our howls, taller than the treat shelf, wider than the dog park fence, and hotter than our breath on your knees. Your care has called to us, rescuing us from cruelty, apathy and misunderstanding. Your love shines through your generosity and soft touch. Your patience for our misdeeds, with clear knowledge that we are not our transgressions, but fluffy bundles of fallible beings, brings forward our down-turned ears and lifts our fallen tails. We know love, and it is you! Now let's play in the snow before it gets unbearably warm again! Oh yeah, Daddy says woof.

Chris, One in plain words. I love you. For nine years we've been finding out how it goes. Maybe in an eternity we could explain it. Pete

Mr. Socks! Guh? Guh? Guh? JB may love his Da-eee, but not half as much as I do. p. s. I like your Garanimals.

For all the dresses we've looked at, the hairs you've clipped, and ointments applied, there could be no other who loves me the way you do. And I do what I can to return that love everyday. Your Lord of Waste Management

Buzzed One, where has the time gone? It seems like only days ago you told me you had started writing BOL entries, and here I am on 2/1/08 writing my first. There aren't enough words, there isn't enough time, I should be holding you right now...So I think I'll do that instead of this

Polish Princess: What a year we have weathered together. I can't even begin to tell you how much your support has meant to me. Given all you have had to deal with I don't know how you were able to give so much to me. I will never forget, or be able to repay you for what you have done for our family. All this while carrying the newest addition to our family in you loving womb. I truly am in awe of your strength and I continue to learn the meaning of true love from your example. I promise to continue to work to be the person that you deserve and the father that our children need. I love you so much babe; more today than yesterday and more tomorrow than I've ever been able to imagine, with you as my teacher. Thank you for the gift of your love and your light in my life. Creature

Sooch, You make my world go round, and I will spend my life being yours. Love Always, kolie

Dear Violet and Vincent: Happy Valentine's Day! Have you ever seen your name in a newspaper before? Well, my local newspaper has a way for people to send Valentine's to each other-in the paper! Of course, I'll have to cut this out and make a card to send to you since you don't live near me, but that will be fun! So, I hope you have a great Black History Month and a marvelous Valentine's Day, and I can't wait to see you again soon! Love, Plant Carin

Lainey. You've definitely got some pretty decent secrets. You can tell the rest to me at your own pace. I'll follow you to Minneapolis to hear the rest. NM

Henrik, my good boy! You remind me of the truth of the world: Of its joys and frustrations, its pitfalls and its pleasures. Good thing you've got so much of your mother in you, lucky kid! Your soul is beautiful, and you radiate life and love to everyone you meet. Our life has never been harder than when you came into it; and our life has never been more blessed than because you're in it every day. I pray that for your safety and health and growth every day, my good son. What a joy, a joy, a joy! I can't wait until I get a chance to teach you as much as you've taught me!

My love, every time I think I know you, you pull another dove from your sleeve, and delight me that you're as rich and complex and wondrous the woman I thought you were that first night we sat on the Capitol steps drinking coffee and talking like we had known each other for years. Maybe we did: Maybe that which was joined in the world of God's spirit had to separate in the world of matter. But as we grow together in the world, I see so much more clearly that soul I knew so well before we were born. One love for me in this world, my sweet, and it's you, it's you, it's you! Please continue to accept my imperfections as I work towards perfection, with you as my mirror. Thank you for making all things possible.

Greg, this isn't for February 14th (which you don't like), it's for every day: You make me feel whole and happy in a way I never have before. I can't tell you how grateful I am for your love, respect, and friendship (but I'll try to show it every day). I love you!

Stix, this isn't really our thing... but then again I don't know anything about romance, I just do what I feel. I can't resist telling you how much I love you at every chance I get. You are my soulmate, and I don't believe in souls. You and I are destined for each other, and I don't believe in destiny. I thank God for you and I don't believe in God. It doesn't make sense, but I know we have forever to figure it out. I love you. Strings

Hello Miss Betsy! I think you are the greatest, and I sure do love you (and Sam& Joey, of course! )- Love, Jenna

Madison you are my first true love. Forget those stupid boys who never knew a good thing when they had it - it was you who knew the real me. It was you who taught me that I had a voice and that I was worthy. When times were tough - I was always able to come back and find you waiting, neverchanging. You spoiled me with your kindness and uniqueness. Now I live in the city of sin and while there is plenty to keep me busy and lots to see - there is nothing that comes close to comforting and relaxing me the way you did. No soothing waters or cool breezes - no summer festivals or rooftop dances where I can let my hair down and feel my soul radiating. Madison - I love you and miss you. Please wait for me! I promise to one day return. xoxox Hedi

Cute Pie, Many squirrelly love sounds to you! -Baboo

Yearly missives in this paper you get; Each year though my rhyme skills increase. And this year my love is ever more set; But our three daughters never leave us in peace! Though we may watch far too much 'gate, Under the blazing white lights of our beautiful fan, We still sometimes actually go out on a date; But we usually drive there in our gross, mom'd-out van. When next we go to the theater of Broom, IA

Briony: I think of you, You - the spark of your soft lips kissing me, the womanly smell of your hair, the inner peace when I touch your face, the classic sight of your beautiful neck, the excitement when you step from the shower, the comfort of reaching over in the night to feel your curves - You Are My Valentine Forever.

2008 ~ Married V-Day Pt 1. I really have to resist the urge to spew our secret language like I did last year...which still speaks volumes about how married we are. I never would have thought finding a better fit possible. You're my PP. D'oh, there I go! Thank you for being my partner, best friend and a VERY g dubs. I adore you. I wonder how this would look in a shadow box? Happy Valentine's Day! Love, your husby (me)

Tom Layton Sorry about the Cowboys... I can hear you rolling all the way from Dallas...

Dear S. , I was going to write you a poem, but I can't come up with a rhyme for hotness (Loch Ness?), sexy (hexy?), and amazingly beautiful (ablazingly dutiful?). You are, of course, still hot, sexy, and amazingly beautiful, and the smartest thing I ever did was on April 28, 1984. Your balding virile type, D.

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you; come rain or come shine; high as a mountain and deep as a river; come rain or come shine. I love you Tami!

In our Alternative Universe: There will be no good-byes. Instead, we will awake in our home by the lake. Pancakes, we will make.

How My Eyes Adore You... I Could Fall In Love With You...Oh wait! I already have.

Merr! 3 years in, and I am still smitten. How do you do that? Magic. Now, you and me go back to my place bouncy bouncy.

Could you BE any cuter, with your chipmunk laugh, shiny white teeth and gangster fit clothes? Well maybe only if you had a cowboy hat on.

MEH! MEH! Did I get your attention? Chb, my darling husband, you make my world go round. I locked you in as my 4-eva valentine on 9/29/07 but if I hadn't, I hope you'd be mine anyway. I saw sparks on 12/10/04 and I've been seeing them ever since. I'll never give up working to prove my love for you! Happy V-day part 4 babies, xyxyxy your gw Mookie and Jaela (meow! ) p. s. Can I have a backrub now? Please???

Tootsie: Can't wait to cheer on the Ducks with you in a larger pond surrounded by roses. Love Always, Jimmy.

Jeff B, we met at the Union in June 06, we wondered what nonet actually meant. I'm the awful girl - awful job, awful life, etc. I'm still awfully married but I have three fabulous friends who are not. They're funny, cute, smart and looking for dates. You'd love them - not all at once, of course. And we could perhaps become friends in the process - you left quite an impression.

Oh Hai! Don't wury. I are yours and you are mine.

Dearest Pengy; I love you from the top of your stylish top-feather down to the bottoms of your sexy oeufs. You don't need to perform a complicated ritual mating dance with berry in beak...you just need to shake a little tail-feather! Love, JuneBug

My dearest Jake. Your body is rock'n. Most boys would kill to look like you, and thats OK. Happy Valentine's day gorgeous! Jess

Emily Rose- you are my cute little dark-haired girl and the BEST Pictionary partner ever! -Mom

ikeavpsw- Thanks for bein who you are and a great friend to me and my love. Happy Valentines Day! toaokat

To my Curious Cat: you will always have a place in my heart to curl up and nap. I promise you that. -C.

Dan - Did you know that it is a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll? But it is not such a long way if you are a California Man playing in an American Band and you have something to say that is better than a burn-out. And now for the mushy stuff - I love you more with each passing day, and I am so happy with you in my life. Happy Valentines Day! Love ya - Holly

Happy Valentines Day Travis & Mariah! Here's to a great 2008 loving each other. I am so proud of you both. Love, Mom

We love you very much Daddy Anthony, you are the best daddy ever, we don't know what we'd do without you (probably poop & pee all over the floor and starve to death)! Year after year we tell you how much we love you here but you can never find it, hope you have better luck this year! Love Joplin (woof), Marley (woof), Baby (meow), & the late great Star (meow)- all of this was possible with just a little bit of help from Mommy Sarah who also loves you very much.

Amy, happy valentines day. to my only. love you. -C

Andrea - Is this finally the end of Lord help the mister? (Remember that this phrase must always be brought up at least once around this time of the year). I'm angry at the boys and you're loving them so much that you have to go to PP for a B. It seems very Lord help the sister right now. And - hey - that's not such a bad thing. If I were Celine, I might say something about how I drove all night to get to you so that you could touch me like this and hold me like that and then I would remind you that my heart will go on. But I'm not Celine and you're not an innocent. But I still love you lots, and I force you to love me too. And as always it's je t'aime (followed by some other words that I can't spell). Jake.

Jess - Remember all the phone conversations where I would be pissed off at love and you would tell me that it would all work out? I think it finally has worked out. And in our immortal words - maybe that's okay. Finally. So even though you may no longer be Tom's ideal self and the Rodarte girls are total bitches and Marc is effing someone younger than both of us - I still love you. And I love that you put up with all of my sh*t and still buy me Chanel to make me feel special and to tell me that you love me. So we plunge ahead, because we have no other choice. But at least we know there are three constants in the world - me, you, and Chanel. And maybe that's okay. I love you lots! Jake.

Nanc-Too much work leaves too little time for the gals. Happy Valentines Day. Cath

TT-Here we are again. It's gonna be the year of change for both of us. Happy Valentines Day Lady! Love you like a sis. CK

Thursday night guy... you've given me everything I've always wanted: a bike, a house and a cat, oh and of course adventure after adventure. I love you more each year! I can't wait until our 40th b-day trips. There is no one else I'd rather hit mid-life with! - your Thursday night girl

Laugh as you will my Lily Boots, my joy, my poodle, my pink, whilst I endeavor to keep you in stitches.

Hitherfore and truly, your Snow Pavement (Your large expanse of dancing green Dairy Air)

Bupa: How do we measure a year, 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days in our life? With our first solo camping trip, first year anniversary cake, Vermont, South Carolina, new restaurants on our date night, our dream home, more nieces and nephews, the last year of our 20s, a green card that's really white, tears, laughter and oh-so-much love. There is no one in this world that I would rather have ups and downs with...especially in bed. I adore you, my hubby of 14 months. Love, Twistle.

Ich liebe Dich, Dylan.

Thank you for loving me through it all! You are an inspiration, and my best friend. I wouldn't be where I am now without you. I love you~

What a bunch of Nanners I have! Thank you for being understanding, stubborn, caring, careless, patient, impatient, silly, serious, mischievous, sensible, funny, sad, excited, level-headed and all other facets of humanity that I've missed - thank you for being real and sharing a life with me for the last five years. Less than two years to Halloween and our own madcap, wedding adventures, my dear! Love you bunches. From, Your Nanners

You girls give me strength and wisdom. You make me remember how lucky i am. Happy Valentines day i love you all bunches and bunches. I would not be me without you. Carebear, Chica A and B, Alicie, lindseypants - You are my goddesses! love, lauraly

Schnuck-ems... a/k/a Sherry: We've now known each other 56 months, been married for 43, and yet I still love you more every day. You've shown me unconditional love-both physical and emotional, respect, encouragement, hope, trust, and friendship. I'm married to my best friend, and I work every day to repay the thanks. Our next 30 years I'm gonna cry a little less, laugh a little more, and love the power of 3 evident in our marriage: 3rd marriage, 3+ years of marriage...now about that 3rd dog-Happy Valentine's Day! Whitey, a/k/a The Best Puppy Daddy

Dear Elli ... I hope you have an awesome Valentines Day. Will you be my Valentine? Come visit me soon. Love, Loren

To Cathy, But the dark secret of the ones long married, A pleasure never mentioned to the young, Is the sweet heat made from two bodies in a bedCurled together on a winter night, The smell of the other always in the quilt, The hand set quietly on the other's flankThat carries news from another worldLight-years away from the one insideThat you always thought you inhabited alone. The heat in that hand could melt a stone. Love, Calvin

Dear Mom ... I don't need anything but you (and Dad) on Valentines Day. You are the love of my life. Will you be my Valentine. Love ... your beautiful darling little girl ... Grace Alexandra Jill

I laaaaah you, Gaoly! -Tony

Dear Tanya and Torii, You are the best Valentines in the whole world (well at least in Dane County... believe me, I checked). Tanya, you always take the time to stop at the store on the way home to buy the essentials that your husband needs - beer and ice cream. Thanks for helping to it possible for me to go back to school, work part-time, and be a daddy and a husband. Torii, you are the apple of daddy's eye. You laugh at all my silly jokes, understand the joys of eating scrambled eggs and pancakes for dinner, and never fail to wake me up at the crack of dawn by jumping on my stomach. I love you both, very much. Happy Valentine's Day! Love, Daddy (AKA Nate)

Happy v-day to my 3 roommies. lets spend all day snuggled on the couch eating heart-shaped brownies. i love you girls.

happy v-day ashapash. you're the best sister a girl could have. i love you!

To KLD, my nonlegal spousal unit, on Valenine's Day... That place you touch me that drives me wild? It is indeed my heart (but that other spot ain't so bad either). I most completely totally absolutely dig you. xo Beffie

K- Even in this state of confusion, it's clear that I miss you terribly. Everytime I come home it feels like our place, not just mine. If I try not to think about you, I can't help it and I think about you twice as much. I don't know how this phase will end. But I do know you won't come back to me until I can answer that. I wish you'd surprise me and show up at my door. Don't you know I'd just melt in your arms. Red.

Happy Valentines Day Nick, minus the emotions! Hope you have a good one. Your little love tap

JSB- For all you do for me, may you have an active and restful year, full of adventure and peace. With love, -J

Happy Valentine's Day to all the gay and lesbian parents out there! You're my heroes and heroines!

Amanda, we miss you so much. We find reminders of you every day, and we think about you even when we don't find something tangible. Although you couldn't read this and probably still can't, hopefully your little furry cat spirit will grow more wings when everyone reads this. Love, Dan and Charlie and Emily

Blinking and stoned. Rain in your hair. You only smoke because it's something to share. Singing bring on the night, to have and to hold. The sodium light turning silver to gold. Spitfire thin and strung like a violin, I was. Yours was the face with a grace from a different age. Julia, You are the sun in my Sunday morning. Always, Kat.

Hello Ashley, happy almost two year anniversary. Just so you know I think you are so beautiful and sweet and kind and I couldn't ask for anyone better. Oh yeah the waffle maker is the bestest ever!

Benny, Even though I didn't have time to write you a Valentine, know that I love you and appreciate all you do. Kristi

To all the legislators who voted for the ban on gay marriage and civil unions: I hope you get pricked by thorns and get tummy-aches from too many chocolates! You not only failed to elect a governor and congressman, but you failed to stop the love, ha ha!

Shout out to Pnut, cookie, and the Whale- We still luv you after all these years!

Ma-I don't know how you have managed to raise all 3 of us kids, but you are my Hero! luv-LK

You are my rock. You are my handsome man. I have found in you my bestest friend. You love me through my bumps and my noxious fumes and my waterfalls. You gave me the greatest gift any one has ever given to me, our Patrick, who has been the best addition to our family. We are having a blast! Thank you Mr. Gerald Paul for all the love and care of your fruitloop, it is much appreciated. love you!

In Memory of Leisa Douglas-Troia 1956-2006. You will forever be in our hearts. A wonderful mother, sister, daughter, friend and auntie. You put up a courageous battle against such an awful disease. We think of you every day and hope that one day there will be a cure for Breast Cancer, so that this world will not have to ever lose another sister, mother, daughter, grandmother, cousin or auntie. With all of our love, Carla and Pete

Dearest Pete! Its been 7 years, so how time flies. We have been through such trying times and still we prevail. I am so lucky to have you in my life. I may not let you know how grateful I am to have you by my side. Looking forward to many more years together. I will always Love you, Carla

Lynn and Joe Troia; Mom and Dad, What a wonderful example you have made of yourselves. Two people who came together, created 2 wonderful children and a lifetime of Love. How many children can say that their parents have been married 37 years? I can! You are the perfect example of what marriage is. Best friends and devotion to eachother and others. I hope to instill the same beliefs in my children that you did in me. Happy Valentines Day Mom and Dad, Love Carla

Mr. Bo-Jangles, Sammy So So, you are lil' stinker, a treat treat hog. You have been the sunshine of my cloudy days for 16 years now. I love your midnight rants and your bedhogging ways. Happy Valentines Day, Mommy CT

Pete, Looking forward a wonderful life with you and me , and whatever is thrown our way. Happy Valentines Day, Carlita

Happy Valentines Day to the entire staff at Madison Health Services!

We all carry around so much pain in our hearts. Love and pain and beauty. They all seem to go together like one little tidy confusing package. It's a messy business, life. It's hard to figure - full of surprises. Some good. Some bad. Henry Bromel, Northern Exposure, The Big Kiss, 1991
